Pray for favor as a news reporter representing our Christian church concerns, to be called upon at the White House to ask the following question:
Mr. President,
Dr. Harper here with IMCNews.
In light of your respect for President Lincoln and our yearly National Day of Prayer events, might you agree to echo President Lincoln's 1863 Proclamation Appointing a National Fast Day, wherein he calls for dependence upon the overruling power of God, for confession of our sins in humble sorrow leading to genuine repentance and states that those nations only are blessed whose God is the Lord? What is your response?
While in Jerusalem and Ramallah, I witnessed the response from people at President Obama’s speaking events – a mesmerization on a grand scale. There was an enthusiastic response from President Peres and Prime Minister Netanyahu of Israel and Abbas of the P.L.O. in favor of President Obama’s call for a two state solution to bring about peace.
Observing the responses of people at President Obama’s events, it seemed like they were accepting him as some type of savior. Only The MESSIAH and KING of PEACE (Y'ESHUA/JESUS) can bring peace to our world. Click here to learn about my MESSIAH Y'ESHUA.
This was my first trip overseas and I was traveling with the White House Press Pool to President Obama’s speaking events.
Because of high security concerns, I saw more machine guns than I have ever seen in one place in my life.

Pictured above IMCNews publisher/news reporter Dr. Anthony Harper inside a press conference of Prime Minister Netanyahu of Israel's residence Wednesday evening March 20, 2013 as part of the White House Press Pool.
During my telephone interview with foreign policy advisor for President Peres of Israel, it was confirmed that Israel is supportive of a two state solution and willing to give up land for peace. I told Israel’s foreign policy advisor that giving away land will not bring peace and encouraged him that Christians will not cease praying for Israel and the peace of Jerusalem.
Pictured above IMCNews publisher/news reporter Dr. Anthony Harper at President Obama’s arrival at the Palestinian headquarters in Ramallah Thursday March 21, 2013 as part of the White House Press Pool.
While in Ramallah, Abbas stated in a Press conference with President Obama that Israel settlements were illegal. As long as Abbas and the Palestinians see Israel’s cities as illegal, how can there be cooperation to bring about a peaceful solution.
At this press conference, I was sitting next to an AlJezerra news reporter who knew I was a Christian news reporter and she said 'Aren't we a pair."
What an eerie feeling being in the Palestinian headquarters.
Pictured above inside the Jerusalem Convention Center Thursday evening March 21 for President Obama's speech as part of the White House Press Corps.
I believe that Israel’s giving away land has not and will never bring peace. There is judgment for those that divide the land of Israel from Joel 3:2 in the Holy Bible:
I will also gather all nations, and will bring them down into the valley of Jehoshaphat, and will enter into judgment with them there for my people and for my heritage Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations, and have divided up my land. (King James Version)
And I will bless them that bless you, and curse him that curses you: and in you shall all families of the earth be blessed. Genesis 12:3 (King James Version)
Praise GOD I was able to share our MESSIAH JESUS’ peace plan as found in 2 Chronicles 7: 14 with several White House Press Corps members and citizens.
At a White House press conference Friday April 5 back in Washington, D.C. I raised my hands many times to ask the following questions (even though I did not get called upon, I did send this following question via E-mail on April 8 to President Obama’s press secretary Jay Carney):
Dear Mr. Carney,
Thank you for the honor of being able to ask questions at the White House Daily Briefings.
I recently attended a daily briefing April 5 and was not able to ask the following question. Our InterMountain Christian newspaper is a voice for Christian leaders in an 8 state region in the United States and your response to my following question would be greatly appreciated:
In light of President Obama's trip to Jerusalem and Ramallah to promote peace and his recent Easter Prayer breakfast with national Christian leaders, what would the President's response be to The MESSIAH JESUS' Peace Plan as found in 2 Chronicles 7:14 and what is the United States doing to secure the release of Pastor Saeed Abedini from an Iranian prison and other Christians from prisons around our world who have been imprisoned for their faith?
Thank you for your response.
Respectfully Yours,
Rev. Dr. Matthew Anthony Harper, Ph.D.

We need to have Christian news reporters at the White House who are not afraid to ask questions of spiritual substance.
Dr. Harper goes to Washington
By Dennis Lombard, Editor & Publisher, Hometimes.org, Florida Click here to view the web site: hometimes.org.
Dr. Anthony Harper of Boise ID – already quite occupied as a newspaper
publisher and a Chaplain in Counseling Ministry – has traveled twice recently
to Washington DC at his own expense in an attempt to lift up God, Jesus
and prayer in some high government circles.
“God gave me the opportunity to do this,” Harper said of his trips to the nation’s capital. “It’s been miraculous, and I’m still shocked it’s all happened.” Sporting his press credentials from his Intermountain Christian News, he was admitted into the James S. Brady Daily Briefing Room at the White House for Presidential press conferences. The requirements to attend White House Daily Briefings includes a security background check, acceptable government issued identification, and proof of position with a recognized news service outlet.
On his first trip, he faced Press Secretary Jay Carney and Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack who was there to discuss the “very serious drought” facing the nation. Various seasoned DC reporters asked policy and technical questions , then Harper was called on.
“I'm Dr. Harper, the Intermountain Christian News, he began. “Governor Perry last year had this national day of prayer and fasting, and he was encouraging people to pray and fast in these national disasters. Do you have any figures on that?”
Vilsack fielded the question. “Well, I can only speak for myself. I get on my knees every day and I'm saying an extra prayer now. If I had a rain prayer or rain dance I could do, I would do it.” He then ducked into policy discussion.
“But honestly, right now the focus needs to be on working with Congress. They have the capacity to help these producers by creating greater flexibility to programs, providing us some direction in terms of whatever disaster assistance can be provided. Those are the kinds of things we're focused on.”
BEFORE HARPER WENT a second time to a White House press conference, hemanaged to get a seat on a White House Press Corps chartered flight to Las Vegas January 29, where President Obama was to deliver a policy speech. The trip was expensive (he has yet to get the bill) but he did have some interesting contact with fellow reporters. Afterwards he caught a red-eye flight, a train, and a subway ride back to DC, then walked to the White House for another press conference – arriving bone tired.
“It was quite a miracle getting called on that day since I had been without sleep for two days and was so tired I could barely stand up. There was intense spiritual oppression that day trying to prevent me from asking a question mentioning Jesus, but praise God, He helped me in one of my weakest moments. “I promised GOD that if He arranged for Jay Carney to call upon me, then I would mention Jesus’ name in my question.”
He was called upon, he stood bravely and asked what was a seriously loaded question: “Regarding religious liberty [and] faith issues, a lot of Christian churches want to know about how this relates to the problems we're going through as a nation economically and otherwise, that would believe that our... faith and religious liberties and life come from Jesus, not man."
This time Carney winced, he seemed perplexed. "I'm sorry, is — I didn't get the question...."
"Oh, I'll rephrase that," Harper said. "Basically, the Christian churches in our nation are concerned about the moral decline in our nation and how faith and religious liberty issues and life are crucial, from the Declaration of Independence, and how that they would believe that our rights come from Jesus, not men. How would the administration respond to that?"
Carney didn't have any official "administration response" to the question, but he did seem to humor the reporter. "I would tell you,” he said, “that the President, as a man of faith, believes very deeply in the importance that it plays in his life and understands clearly the importance it plays in the lives of so many millions ofAmericans."
WHY DID HE GO on these trips? “To be a witness for Christ,” he said. It cost him iterally thousands of dollars and that isn’t all paid for yet. He’s seeking donations from his readers.
“I was very nervous being called on,” he admitted. “I was out of my comfort zone. I prayed. I sensed a demonic heaviness there. I was exhausted, especially that second time, because of the trip to Las Vegas.”
What was Carney’s reaction to his unusual question? “He looked shocked, irritated, scornful.
“But I set a precedent for deeper questions in the future, bringing Jesus into capital affairs.”
Harper plans more such trips. Some day he dreams of establishing an office in DC,nd finding some interns to man it. He hopes to attend a free intern program set up there from Reagan’s time in office, sponsored by the Young Americans Foundation (www.yaf.org/internship). YAF provides $1,000 a month stipend for interns.
Harper also hopes to manage a trip soon to Israel, where he hopes to interview Prime Minister Netanyahu – to bring up the subject of the Jewish Messiah. All of his hoped-for trips will require more “miracle financing” than he has managed to receive so far.“We need to have Christian news reporters asking the challenging questions and to be a witness to the secular news media As a member of the White House Media Pool, I am thankful to God for the opportunity to attend White House conferences,” Harper writes on the InterMountain Christian News website. “Christians need a prominent voice with our president and other national leadership.”
Harper, 62, is married and has a daughter. He has a PhD in Psychology and is active in that area too. InterMountain Christian News serves an eight state region of Colorado, southern Idaho, Montana, northern Nevada, western North Dakota, eastern Oregon, Utah and Wyoming. It is now produced four or five times a year in these hard times. It relies on both paid advertising and donations to coveroperating costs,

On Monday, November 19 of 2012, I was approved for travel with the White House Press Corps whenever President Obama or other White House representatives are traveling and would appreciate your prayers that a door would open up for me to be directly with the President on Air Force 1 for his trips internationally and/or domestically. Pray that I will be able to ask questions that represent our Christian concerns.
As a news reporter, I thank JESUS that I did get called upon by President Obama's Press Secretary Jay Carney Wednesday July 18, 2012 to ask a question of Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack regarding the drought in our nation. Secretary Vilsack's response to my question of "......a rain prayer or rain dance" triggered internet news chatter. Within an hour or so after my question on prayer and fasting for national disasters, there was a lightning streak across the sky while I was walking away from the White House followed by a severe thunderstorm and downpour of rain (a sign from GOD above).

A lot of internet news chatter has been happening since that day because of Mr. Vilsack's comments on prayer after I asked him a question about turning to God and praying in response to the drought and other natural disasters our nation is experiencing. My question was, “Governor Perry last year (theresponseusa.com) had this national day of prayer and fasting, and he was encouraging people to pray and fast in these national disasters. Do you have any figures on that?” Although I did not get to ask the winning contest question of President Obama, I hope to get called upon by him to ask him this question in the future.
Vilsack, accompanying White House press secretary Jay Carney to the briefing, responded, “Well, I can only speak for myself. I get on my knees every day and I’m saying an extra prayer now. If I had a rain prayer or rain dance I could do, I would do it. But honestly, right now the focus needs to be on working with Congress – they have the capacity to help these producers by creating greater flexibility to programs, providing us some direction in terms of whatever disaster assistance can be provided. Those are the kinds of things we’re focused on.”
As a member of the White House Media Pool, I am thankful to GOD for the opportunity to attend White House Press conferences. Christians need a prominent voice with our President and other national leadership.
Pray that President Obama and/or other White House officials call upon me while at press conferences and that I will be able to ask him the question that represents our Christian concerns. Please consider sponsoring my airfare, travel and housing costs to attend White House press conferences and my travel expenses for the President and Vice President or other White House representative travel events. We need to have Christian news reporters asking the challenging questions and to be a witness to the secular news media.

Christians United for Israel Conference July 16-18
Washington, D.C. Convention Center
Pictured above: Pastor John Hagee
What a great time I had in attending the Christians United for Israel conference at the D.C. Convention Center July 16-18! At that conference I enjoyed listening to Pastor John Hagee bless and pray for Israel, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu speaking live via satellite and later in the evening to Christian Broadcasting Network reporter Erick Stakelbeck, Senator Joseph Liberman and Congresswoman Michelle Bachman and several others. This conference was very enlightening and sobering and celebratory. The overall message of the conference was that the land of Israel was given by GOD, we need to help defend Israel against all her enemies, especially Iran. Israel deserves the right to defend her self.
The United States is building up a military force in the Strait of Hormuz to prevent an Iranian blockage of that oil corridor. Let us all pray for GOD's intervention for Israel and our nation in light of this impending crisis. GOD bless Israel with His Holy Protection.

a call to prayer for a nation in crisis

About The Response
Vision
America's issues are not primarily financial, political or moral. Neither does America's hope lie in one leader or institution. Our hope is found in the One who desires for us to turn to Him with all our hearts. This is our response — to call on Jesus on behalf of America, that He might hear our cry and that we would see a revolution of righteousness in this country.
Invitation
The Response is holding state-wide solemn assemblies to gather people from all ages, denominations and backgrounds in prayer and worship on behalf of our nation. Join us as the church responds to the call to prayer.
State to state, city to city, we will not rest until we see a righteous revolution awaken the church.
About
The Response In August 2011, The Response gathered over 40,000 to Houston, TX as well as 100,000 unique sites that joined via simulcast to respond to the Joel 2 trumpet call to prayer. Though Governor Rick Perry initiated The Response in Houston, the state-wide gatherings we are now doing are not affiliated with any presidential candidates. The Response is committed to prayer above politics, to exercising our freedoms within the system of government God has given us, to raise our voices before heaven, and to cry out for transformation in America.
Next Response event scheduled for Kansas City October 27, 2012. For more information, visit the web site: theresponseusa.com.
